• Mix all the chopped vegetables peppers,tomato,corn,onions and green chillies in a bowl and keep it aside.
• Take each roundel or triangle of bread and apply garlic spread and put one 2 teaspoons of mixed vegetables over it and sprinkle salt and red chilli flakes and top it with 2 teaspoons of cheese(add according to your choice).
• Arrange a baking sheet or aluminum foil over the baking tray and place all the bread and put it in pre heated oven at 160 degrees and broil it for 2-3 minutes until the edges of bread are slight crisp and the cheese starts melting.
• Remove it and sprinkle some more pepper flakes and serve them hot with tomato ketchup.
